Brunch at Einstein’s
Cleverly placed on the corner of 12th & Juniper is the home to my favorite breakfast spot in Atlanta, Einstein’s. This brunch superstar features an inventive menu with extraordinary dishes sure to cure whatever ails you. Be sure to try my favorites - the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Benedict and Boursin Mac & Cheese. Delicious!

Shopping at Lenox Square
Looking to buy yourself the ultimate gift? If you answered yes, look no further than Lenox Square in Buckhead. With name brands such as Salvatore Ferragamo, Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, TUMI, Bloomingdale's, and Neiman Marcus this climate-controlled, indoor shopping plaza is sure to keep you cool while you burn a hole through your wallet.

VIP Experience at the Annual Taste of Atlanta Food Festival

The Taste of Atlanta VIP Experience gets you behind the scenes, offering you the chance to devour mouth-watering dishes from Atlanta’s premier restaurants and complimentary wine tastings to wash it all down. Don’t forget about the selection of over 50 craft beers as well.

Taka Sushi
Being of Japanese descent and living in the United States it has been extremely tough to find outstanding Japanese cuisine… that is until I found Taka Sushi in Buckhead. From the moment you walk in the door the subtle cues and ambience of Japan is guaranteed to fill your senses. Chef Taka Moriuchi has created an extraordinary menu containing the freshest sashimi, authentic traditional delicacies, and a vast selection of premium sakes that is guaranteed to please even the most well-traveled foodies. Don’t be surprised if you spot a celebrity chef or two dining here as well... Itadakimasu!

Skip the dessert wherever you may be dining because this European style café is well worth the wait. With over 70 different pastries and 800 gourmet coffees, teas and cocktails to choose from, Café Intermezzo is the most decadent way to cure your sweet tooth. Not content with just dessert? Café Intermezzo also provides exceptional breakfast, lunch and dinner in 3 convenient locations throughout Atlanta.

Quinnones at Bacchanalia
One of the ultimate dining destinations of Atlanta, Quinnones is a place to see and be seen. The Southern ingredients found within the award-winning, food & wine pairing menu change seasonally and the interior’s subdued elegance, designed by Dominick Coyne, makes this one of the best dining experiences to be found. They are often booked up months in advance so be sure to get your reservation in early.

Prestige Luxury Car Rentals
Why rent a boring 4-door sedan on your next visit to Atlanta when you can drive around in your very own Lamborghini or Bentley? Prestige Luxury Car Rentals not only offers a vast selection of exotic vehicles to choose from but also provides personalized assistance, complimentary delivery & pick-up service, pre-programmed navigation systems, and more.

The TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola
Grab yourself a ticket to watch Henrik Stenson defend his title on September 11-14, 2014 at the annual TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. As the final event to the FEDEX Cup this is your chance to see 30 of the best golfers in the world tee-it-up and go head to head at historic East Lake Golf Club. This 3-day tournament is guaranteed to provide jaw-dropping competition from the greatest names in the game.

Party Suite at the Georgia Dome
It doesn’t get much better than watching a live Atlanta Falcon’s game in your very own party suite at the Georgia Dome. To complete the experience each suite boasts complimentary concierge service, flat screen TVs, an incredible surround-sound system, chic modern furniture, a private restroom, and more! Go you Falcons!

The St. Regis Hotel in Buckhead
To secure the #1 spot, I can think of nothing more indulgent than doing absolutely nothing and being waited on hand-and-foot. Recipient of the 2013 Travel + Leisure “Worlds’ Best” Award, the St. Regis Hotel in Buckhead is guaranteed to exceed your expectations. A stay in the exclusive Empire Suite at this 151-room, AAA rated, five-star hotel comes complete with your very own butler, 24-hour concierge service, and world-class pampering at Remѐde Spa. Of course the fireplace, custom-designed furniture, full kitchen, and five-fixture marble bathrooms are a nice touch as well.
